Shaw Davis & The Black Ties

Formed in 2017 with Patrick Stevenson (bass guitar, vocals) and Bobby Van Stone (drums) and hailing from Pompano Beach, FL, Shaw Davis & The Black Ties are an incendiary fusion of progressive hard rock and roots rock that embodies the soul found within blues-rock icons of the 1960s and ’70s. After a steady dose of touring the U.S., performing more than 300 shows in a two-year span, the band has begun to carve their way into the national touring scene. Dubbed as one of the Top 50 Rock & Blues Artists You Must Hear In 2019 by Rock & Blues Muse, the group teamed up with Grammy-winner Paul Nelson (Johnny Winter) to record 2021’s Red Sun Rebellion. The album’s nine tracks include the lead single “Higher” and the trio’s take on the blues standard, “Rock Me Baby.” It came three years after the band’s second Tales From The West, which was nominated for three Independent Blues Music awards and debuted at No. 20 on the RMR Blues Rock chart. Their self-titled 2017 debut was followed by the 2018 live EP That year they represented South Florida in the International Blues Challenge. The trio has become a mainstay on the national club circuit and have performed alongside the likes of Blackberry Smoke, Walter Trout, and Blue Oyster Cult. More at shawdavisblackties.com
